Shania's story
Born in the vibrant city of Birmingham, my love for films began at a young age. I vividly remember repeatedly borrowing “Annie” on VHS from the local library, sparking a passion that would shape my future leading me to study Film and Media Production at University.
During my time at university, I actively contributed to the independent film scene, collaborating on numerous short films. Notably, a short film I produced in my second year earned a nomination for a Royal Television Society Yorkshire Student Award. Venturing beyond the UK, I directed a documentary in Italy with my university, a project that found its way to the Aesthetica Short Film Festival screen in November 2023.
Alongside studying, I had the opportunities to work on major sets, including Netflix and MGM Productions. These experiences not only deepened my technical skills but also instilled in me the confidence to navigate the intricacies of the film industry. Now, as a Distribution Assistant at Trafalgar Releasing, I bring this rich tapestry of experiences, passion, and a love for the industry to every project, ensuring the magic of live events comes to life.
Among the myriad of projects I’ve assisted with at Trafalgar Releasing, two stand out as unforgettable milestones in my career. Working on “Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé” and Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour” was a blend of excitement and challenges. The intricate logistics and attention to detail required for these projects were both demanding and rewarding, and has made me grateful to have been part of bringing these extraordinary experiences to audiences worldwide. The chance to work with such esteemed clients continues to be a source of pride and inspiration in my journey with Trafalgar Releasing.
